Penrith Panthers welcomes the NSW Government’s decision for the club to continue to play home matches at BlueBet Stadium in 2023.
The NSW Government has commenced commercial negotiations for the acquisition of the Penrith Paceway, as part of the stadium redevelopment – allowing Panthers to remain at BlueBet Stadium next season.
The Paceway site would facilitate a state-of-the-art stadium with an improved gameday experience for fans, with modern amenities that exists within a precinct that is activated throughout the week, not just on event days.
The NSW government has outlined that the timing of construction for a new stadium will be confirmed once the acquisition process is completed and the scope for the new stadium has been determined, which is expected in late 2022.
“On behalf of all at Panthers, we’re delighted to remain at BlueBet Stadium for the 2023 NRL season,” Panthers Group CEO Brian Fletcher said.
“To continue to play home fixtures at BlueBet Stadium is a great result for the Penrith community, as it provides certainty to members and fans, corporate partners and all stakeholders of Panthers.”
